trident gum. the fresh chew to refresh your rhythm. >> 5.45 right now and we're checking out the weather you know, do really doesn't matter if it rains or not today because i'm work out. you can't work explain later. all right, ashley, to the picture. i was my first day that second day back in the gym and all things getting real when judge that the weather while you can't walk because he's done his work. yeah. i'm a little soreness days that fortunately, i guess a little more unsafe than i because i would have never been able to do it. i did yesterday. a good

for us to get back out there doing some workouts the past few days because today is a good rest day. it is cooler cloudier and it's about to be a little rain here, too. >> your view it outside here at the east bay hills. we do have some wet conditions around berkeley, but it's not really because of rainfall more so because of some misty conditions that we've seen are right around here. rain to the north missed in the middle and then to the south, not a whole lot of anything actually looking at dry conditions for the santa clara valley, aside from some pockets of fog, we have a sprinkle up in the santa cruz mountains. that's all we've got for the south bay right now. a couple of misty spot stretching from san francisco, the peninsula on over towards oakland, richmond, up to the lay home and then the north bay, some light to moderate showers for you and mostly up into sonoma and northern napa counties as well as near the coastline and marin counties. you head further toward san pablo bay and the golden gate and things start to die down really quickly with just some misty spots there. rainfall is moving in a northeasterly direction. so it's actually

not hitting most of the bay area. and this frontal boundary is stalling out right before it lands in the bay. what does that mean for us? all that rainfall that we love to see passing through, giving us all a good dose is going to be hanging out mostly to our north, avoiding most of the bay area. and rainfall totals are going to suffer because of that. now as we move through futurecast, you see how showers mostly stay to the north through the day. we will see a couple of sprinkles in san francisco. likely richmond, too. the mostly it will be sonoma, mendocino lake and portions of napa counties that get in the mix with today's daytime rainfall overnight tonight will be looking at dry conditions into tomorrow morning. a couple of sprinkles are possible. looking very brief, though, after that, some clearing throughout the course of the day on friday. that's the sunshine for your friday afternoon. while the sierra nevada starts to pick up on some snowfall towards the latter part of the day tomorrow, then come saturday, some on and off sprinkles mostly during pre-dawn hours. snowfall continuing in the

sierra before we dry out come saturday afternoon. so you see limited rainfall potential here in the bay. so much so that really only checking in with around a 10th of an inch to quarter of an inch. max for any sort of rainfall totals across the bay, the further inland and further south, you get generally the less chance of any sort of rainfall. we do have now, as far as temperatures go today will be upper 50's to low 60's. this is notable because you remember where we've been, which has been upper 60's to low 70's so easily, 10 degrees cooler and really just a matter of a day, a big difference as far as what it feels like as you're heading outside the big difference and what it's looking like 2 with skies remaining, mostly cloudy today and with showers further north of the bay, definitely dressed for this one prepared for those changes. napa and santa rosa among spots are right at 60 degrees today. tomorrow and saturday watch will be the coolest days of your forecast. some evening showers possible tonight after daytime showers for the north bay friday morning. a couple of morning sprinkles than sunshine. the rest of the day.

chance of showers before the sun even comes up saturday morning. rest of the day looks dry and the rest of the forecast does to after that with highs eventually climbing back to the mid to upper 60's train a dog. thank you for that. so we do have a disabled vehicle. this is 5, any westbound. >> on the richmond, sandra fell bridge riders or acts. a teen just north of main street there. so as you're heading across towards san rafale and you get ready, get off his disabled vehicle, looks like one of the lanes are blocked drive times of not change. and that's because it's early. so still 8 minutes as you're traveling from the tulsa one. 0, one heading into the city right now. 10 minutes you can see traffic slowing down a bit. looks like the metering lights just got turned on here at the bay bridge heading across towards the peninsula. about 12 minutes for your drive as you're making your way from 8.80, to one o one and the south bay. 85 in menlo park about 32 minutes. we started off the morning with an issue, a down tree along 2.80, and los altos. however, that's clear to 80's moving at the limit. same with 82. let's

check on highway 4 as you're traveling from any acts. one, 60 to congress to 40 to about 20 minutes story of james, back to you. thank you. rain. it's 5.49. and the warriors are back in action tonight. they're trying to bounce back after 2 straight loss. yes, eventually they will. coach steve kerr says the 2 star players could be back on the court soon. so that's >> uplifting. get called for sports director jason dumas with more. >> well, there's been a lot of doom and gloom when it comes to the warriors. as of late. the dubs are just 2, 6, in their last 8 games and steve kerr went as far to say there's some disconnect within the locker room. or steph curry. klay. tell me about it. but we have some good news. but draymond green and klay thompson, they practice just recently on this road trip while james wiseman, he participated in a 3 on 3 scrimmage. clay is questionable to play against dallas. white, draymond green and james. well, they're still going to be out a little bit, but everything is trending in

the right direction. and all 3 players are ready to go soon, which is something the warriors desperately need. >> it's literally day to the fact that they both played today for the first time on the floor together was really and fun to see and the more games and days james strings together, the better. and it's been a really good like 3 to four-week stretch now. so it's all heading in a really positive direction. it's not enough. >> to where i can say he's going to play on such and such date. >> or were his basketball has been ugly? they need all those guys. now general manager spoke at the nfl combine and when it was john lynch's time at the podium, i think you can guess the topic, this guy right here. i'm sorry, jayme. we've got you right when you're getting pummeled. good ol jimmy garoppolo. he's kind of in a limbo. he's still on the niners roster yet it's a foregone conclusion that he

will be traded at some point. this offseason. but, you know, john lee, he's a man of respect. and for now, jimmy is still in the red and gold. so he's going to treat him as such and praise him as such as well. >> there's always plan a plan b plan, c, you know, and and you know, we we plan for all that accordingly. you know, he's a big part of what we've done in like i say, still a part of us. and until that changes, you know, we feel blessed that he is. and so, you know, right now when we're talking about his i'm worried about that for the niners for jimmy, you know, as far as anything else like i said, we have had some discussions with teams and will continue to. as of right now, he's he's a part of us. >> and that was sports director jason dumas reporting this morning. the warriors will be facing the dallas mavericks tonight with tipoff at 5.30. >> it's 5.52. kron four's recognizing remarkable women that are making a difference in the bay area. and here they
